2x2x5 Grow Lab - Reserva Privada Headband ... [ 100w T5 veg / 250w HPS flower ]

[mugan]

i think the space for florescent is 5 inch prolly a lil more for T5s tho

 

[Sr. Verde]

Wow, I'mnot sure if it's right,but I keepmy T5's much closer. Within an inch or two.
I've been raising them the last couple nights though to see if my seedlings will respond with vigor.

I hope the two unmarked seeds I planted are Headband.

Closer than this?

I have them about an inch lower than that now that I adjusted the screen and made it tight....


They are like an inch from the tops of the big plant....



The tops are coming through really nice ill have more photos up tonight..





grow update: i picked up some general organics "bio weed" ? it's basically kelp... straight up... I just did a 1/3 tsp foliar feed i hear this stuff kicks ASS.

 

[Ge7Som3]

Cant wait for the update and hear how the kelp worked out!!

 

[mugan]

ya the kelp is supposed to have some killer enzymes to so you should drop some in tha soil

 

[upthearsenal]

I keep my t5s as close as possible without the plants getting burnt (which only really happens when they touch the bulb), so about an inch away from the canopy.

And yeah man kelp is great, I run soil-less and I feed with kelp every watering. It keeps my plants constantly vigorous... good stuff indeed.

Subbed and +Rep.

 

[Sr. Verde]

this is from yesterday... day 34


Gave them a foliar kelp feed, and poured the rest of the bottle in the soil.... Trying to squeeze the last bit of veg out that I can...

Going to let the soil dry real nice then feed fox farms grow big, cal mag, and bio weed (kelp)... Then we will probably be onto flower.

I wanted to see the effects of this kelp on a heavy foliar spray..

Before

After

Now we wait

They are tucked away, pretty good now.

Notice how my screen is nice?



How far from the soil should I set the screen once I flip to 12/12?

 

[Ge7Som3]

Nice! lookin good

 

[upthearsenal]

Are you going to top/train them?

Edit: before flipping that is

 

[Sr. Verde]

You sent me this PM in june

Dude, verde, I'm gonna be pissed if you don't scrog these things. If you want the most out of this, you gotta scrog it. Don''t top because the apical meristem will be effing huge. I grew one without training it was okay, nothing like the the others I trained.

You didn't realize I'm going by 100% the numbers you provided? 3.5-3.7x stretch, no topping ... and SCROG.....

You said, "ill be pissed if you don't"

 

[upthearsenal]

Lmao... I still stand by the no top, but I'd LST her without a doubt, look at mine in my journal. I show exactly when I train 'er

I've already been training dude


I started with bending and now I have ties going..

 

[upthearsenal]

Haha, I guess I'm partially blind then, I can't tell if they're bent. They look like they're itching to get bushy already though which is awesome.

This is how mine looked, I guess I was just predisposed to this:

My bad!

Looking back on mine, yours definitely look a lot more indica than mine did...

 

[Sr. Verde]

Day 35...... Obviously I raise the light to take some photos.. fyi


The training was poor before... I figured out a way to use an "anchor" on each node, and connect each anchor with a twist tie and tie them into each other... Basically it brings the main stem down to dirt level, to let the lower branching grow up... Looks a lot cleaner...


I'm kind of getting used to this screen... still don't know where it will be when I flower... but i'm liking how much I can spread the tops out...


I will be filling this screen out it looks like as much as I can before 12/12

Before training

after... jeeezeee this is gonna be fun

chillin..... veggin....

Cant wait to give them a full strength feeding, still waiting for them to dry up their soil a bit though. Need that o2. The new growth/branches seem lime green like they could use some more N, and they are getting hungry for more cal/mg.


Mad branches coming through!

 

[Ge7Som3]

I see Im loving the Before/After pics (as i am a novice) they help alot!! Looks Great nice and stocky. i had a question i think it involves SCROG but the term is "lollypopping"?

Edit: and what are you Anchoring them with

 

[upthearsenal]

Awesome man. That last shot looks great.

As far as the height of the screen... I liked it about a foot above the soil, so I could water/feed with my jugs, and work well underneath. That was with a wire screen and wooden frame so there was no flexibility, I also had around 10 plants... As long as you can water and work with the plants it's totally up to you, especially since the squares are pretty big and the rope is flexible watering should be easier.

What nutrients are you using btw?

Lollipoping is just removing the lower branches and bud sites that aren't getting good light. They produce popcorn buds that are usually made into hash, so by cutting them you can push a little bit more energy into the top colas. Most scrogers lolli once at week 1 and again at week 3.

Week 1 and 3 of Flowering Correct?

 

[Someguy15]

Week 1 and 3 of Flowering Correct?

Yes. I do a bit of lolli at the end of veg too right before they go in. You get a feel for what's not going to make it to the top of the canopy.
